About the Project

Hanvey's 35mm and 60mm film photographic negatives and positives at the John J. Burns Library
are scanned with a Nikon Super CoolScan 9000 film scanner, using
Nikon Scan 4.0 software. Each image is scanned at a resolution of 3000 ppi as uncompressed TIFF images in order to capture all
of the image information on the film. From these master TIFF files, we generate both JPEG and JPEG2000
derivative images for Boston College's online digital repository.
